BTS Military Enlistment Chain

Following Jin’s Path

J-Hope is the second member of BTS to enlist in the military, following Jin, who began his training in December 2022 and is now an active member of an army unit in South Korea. The enlistment of J-Hope marks another step in the BTS military enlistment chain.

Future Enlistment Plans

With J-Hope’s completion of training, the spotlight now turns to Suga, who is set to enlist next as he recently turned 30. The remaining members of BTS will follow suit over the next two years. South Korean law mandates 18 months of military service for most males by the age of 28. However, a 2021 amendment allows pop stars who have received government medals to postpone their service until they turn 30. This benefit was extended to BTS following their receipt of the Order of Cultural Merit in 2018.

Fans from around the world have been sending letters and gifts to show their support for J-Hope during his military service. However, Big Hit Music, the agency representing BTS, has requested fans to refrain from sending physical items due to logistical challenges. Instead, the agency suggests leaving supportive messages on Weverse using the hashtag #Dear_jhope_from_ARMY, ensuring that these messages will reach J-Hope personally. Additionally, fans have been urged to avoid crowding during J-Hope’s recruit training graduation ceremony for safety reasons.

Implications for the Music Industry

J-Hope’s expected discharge in October 2024 and the subsequent completion of military service by the remaining BTS members around 2025 have significant implications for the music industry. The hiatus caused by their enlistments raises questions about whether it will catalyze a shift in the global pop scene or if BTS’s influence will continue unabated. Only time will reveal the answer, as fans eagerly anticipate the return of J-Hope and the remaining members to the world stage.
